Pro-wrestling psychology 101:
Chael has made it pro-wrestling style. He was a vilain and they put him against a bigger vilain that acted like a coward and that turned Chael into a hero/good guy. Nice one UFC for ripping a page out the pro-wrestling book!

Im really surprised that shogun and machida turned
down that fight. especially machida he had a short fight with bader. but as athletes they should be ready for a fight against anyone. kudos to chael for stepping up but jones is smart to turn down the fight. chael would have wrestled his ass off. and pounded his ass against the cage. jones is scared to lose the title and that would have been his biggest opponent. i hope vitor rips his face off.

THose who think CHael has a chance against JJ are smokign some serious crack…. anyway, why does CHael keep getting tittle shots like its a pinata?
Im actualyl on JJ’s side although I dislike him. Chael simply doesnt deserve ANOTHER title shot just cos he’s Chael SOnnen.
With that beign said, Jones should definitely fight SOMEONE, to avoid cancelling event.

White quoted Jones as telling the president, “I’m not fighting Chael Sonnen with eight days’ notice,” and said Jones’ trainer, Greg Jackson, advised that taking on Sonnen “would be the biggest mistake of” Jones’ life. Jackson, said White, “is a sport killer.”

Jackson fired back Friday, telling MMAWeekly.com, “It was actually three days notice; it’s not eight days’ notice because you don’t train the last week of a fight camp. That’s when you do media and weight cutting; there’s no real training going on there. When I was asked if fighting Sonnen for a world title on three days’ notice was a smart idea, I said no.

“Chael is in a great position in that he’d been training with Dan Henderson for this fight, getting him ready, and he’s in shape. He knows the plan on what they’re going to do to get around Jon. So he’s ready to go. It’s not like he’s stepping off the couch and into a fight. So taking a fight of that caliber with a guy that’s ready, on three days’ notice, for a world championship, without any time to prepare, is just not professional to me.”

Chael really has a point here, if Jones did accept he would only have to worry about 8 days worth of Chael injecting TRT in his ass. Now he’s going to have to worry about hael injecting 90 days worth of TRT into his ass!!! You messed up JJ, big time!

Not a fan of Bones, but fuck both Dana & Chael. I’m with Bones on this one. He had nothing to gain and everything to loose. Accepting the fight would be doing both Dana & Chael a favor. Who wants to do favors for assholes. Dana, FYI, injuries are part of the game. Perhaps it is time for better contingency plans…CO-MAIN EVENTS for all fight cards.

Forget the fans, forget the UFC, forget the event venue and gate. Jon Jones FUCKED all the fighters on the card and their trainers, partners, coaches, management, sponsors, etc… many people have just lost their livelihood for a period of time because Jones ducked Chael?

I repeat… JONES DUCKED CHAEL?

He should be able to roll right through Sonen. WTF?

… and for that many, many, many good hard working people just lost their paychecks.

even though I dislike Chael I have so much more respect for him then that fake ass bitch jones. the guy doesn’t give a fu$k about so many fighters who worked so hard to get paid few grands, let alone so many people who bought tickets, flights and hotel reservations. I can’t see why he wouldn’t fight a guy who isn’t even training and is 185lb’er. what a bi*ch!
